Teabaggery

The New York Times has some background on some of the characters in the Petraeus matter and one individual in particular seems right out of the Clintonian 90s with an extra-touch of teabagging douchery:

Ms. Kelley, a volunteer with wounded veterans and military families,
brought her complaint to a rank-and-file agent she knew from a previous
encounter with the F.B.I. office, the official also said. That agent,who had previously pursued a friendship with Ms. Kelley and had earlier sent her shirtless photographs of himself,
was “just a conduit” for the complaint, he said. He had no training in
cybercrime, was not part of the cyber squad handling the case and was
never assigned to the investigation.

...

Later, the agent became convinced — incorrectly, the official said — that the case had stalled. Because of his “worldview,” as the official put it, he suspected a politically motivated cover-up to protect President Obama.
The agent alerted Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, who called
the F.B.I. director, Robert S. Mueller III, on Oct. 31 to tell him of
the agent’s concerns.

This idiot has future contributor to Breitbart all over him...along with baby oil.

So, the FBI had concluded no sensitive information was compromised, and then Agent "Bolton" tells the Republicans and Petreus is forced to resign? Not to be an armchair quarterback, but while the Republicans are slavering over the possible political advantage hearings would bring them, shouldn't the Democrats be hammering the "leaks" aspect of this? At the very least it might temper the Republicans will to draw this out.
